Grabbing a glass or typing an email: these are some everyday gestures that are not possible for people with serious physical impairments. EU-funded projects such as TOBI (Tools for Brain-Computer Interaction) are working on technologies that could greatly improve their quality of life. Brain-Computer Interaction has allowed them to regain control of paralysed limbs, surf the web and take 'virtual' walks with their thought.Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:00:00 GMThttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17769TOBI: Mind over matter for people with disabilitieshttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17767
People with serious physical disabilities are unable to do the everyday things that most of us take for granted despite having the will and the brainpower to do so. This is changing thanks to European projects such as TOBI (Tools for Brain-Computer Interaction). People with limited mobility can write emails and even regain control of paralysed limbs through thought alone.Wed, 13 Aug 2014 07:33:46 GMThttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17767EU-funded tool to help our brain deal with big datahttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17737
Every single minute, the world generates 1.7 million billion bytes of data, equal to 360,000 DVDs. How can our brain deal with increasingly big and complex datasets? EU researchers are developing an interactive system which not only presents data the way you like it, but also changes the presentation constantly in order to prevent brain overload. The project could enable students to study more efficiently or journalists to cross check sources more quickly. Several museums in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the United States have already showed interest in the new technology.Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:01:18 GMThttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17737BRAIN-FETs 2014: 1st Clustering Workshop on Future Emerging NeuroTechnologieshttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17590
